I hate it when I am shopping and I am in the health food section of the supermarket and I pick up a “healthy” snack and the ingredient list is full of numbers! I have decided that each week I will pick out a group of additives to investigate.
Sulphites (220,221,222,223,224,225,228)
· Found in dried fruit, canned fruit, cordials, juices, potato products and processed meats.
· Destroys Vitamin B1 in the body.
· Known to provoke gastric irritation, nausea, diarrhoea, skin rash, asthma attacks and difficult to metabolise for those with impaired kidney function.
· Should be avoided by anyone suffering from respiratory ailments.
Makes you think twice doesn’t it? Next week I will look at Flavour enhancers.
